    CanLife battery 24V280Ah

    I’m interested is buying two of the 24 volt 280 ah batteries, plus an inverter and some solar panels....it’s just a lot of money. Building the batteries is way cheaper but I’m not sure about all the uncertainty of the products from China and ordering etc. West Rock has been good to me in the...

    Canadian battery review Please

    Yes that’s approximately the right interpretation with lead acid batteries, lithium would have a great depth of discharge so instead of 50% you might apply 80-90%. Also some calculations use 12.8 volts vs 12 volts. So 12.8 x 200 = 2560....however I’d keep you calculations as better to be...

    UFO Batteries????

    Hey Maast thanks for sharing...ya you’re right...the DIY is a way less expensive but I’m a little nervous on the build. Maybe I need to experiment with a smaller build then designed my cottage system with a little confidence.

    UFO Batteries????

    Hey HRTKD, thanks for the feedback. For DIY build your own, I would agree with you...there are some good success stories and I would align with those vendors for sure. For pre-builts, I’ve been looking for alternatives as the price is significantly different from multiple vendors. Apart from...

    UFO Batteries????

    hey folks, in an effort to source pre-built 24 volt batteries I stumbled upon UFO Power Technology Company out of Shenzhen. They have decent customer service and have been very responsive.

    CanLife battery 24V280Ah

    Yup...sounds familiar. There’s a part of me that thinks that a year from now the prices might come down or supply increases. So...a little apprehensive to take the plunge. Also nervous about working with overseas vendors and making bad decisions. I appreciate your feedback and will keep you...

    CanLife battery 24V280Ah

    I’ve been looking at those batteries too. I’m from Winnipeg and have worked with Westrock for years...good service. The batteries are very expensive but on par with the other pre-builts. I’m trying to figure out if I’m gonna build my battery or buy these ones. They also have a great alternative...
